WrapEarnPass created an issue (geany/geany#4603) Geany 2.2.0 (git >= 98bcbee3b).
https://www.geany.org/manual/reference/signals.html ``` project-save Sent when a project is saved(happens when the project is created, the properties dialog is closed or Geany is exited). This signal is emitted shortly before Geany will write the contents of the GKeyFile to the disc. ``` This signal is firing on every document save, but the manual seems to indicate that it should only fire if the .geany file was updated. Which led me to check the .geany file for mtime, and sure enough, every document save is re-writing the .geany file. ``` build@debian:~/Projects/cmake-loader$ stat cmake-loader.geany && sha256sum cmake-loader.geany && cp cmake-loader.geany geany.back File: cmake-loader.geany Modify: 2026-06-20 15:11:30.598326438 -0400 d042301db2dd6e5c55b923229ecd746e5a36e07b7395ea721a9f46cefa462ec6 cmake-loader.geany ...removed a line and saved a file... build@debian:~/Projects/cmake-loader$ stat cmake-loader.geany && sha256sum cmake-loader.geany File: cmake-loader.geany Modify: 2026-06-20 15:12:00.230323035 -0400 806eb31af2f20a389755c33dffcf1b1397e14bcc8d708aec816f3a100c18ed45 cmake-loader.geany build@debian:~/Projects/cmake-loader$ diff cmake-loader.geany geany.back 32c32 < FILE_NAME_0=2230;C;0;EUTF-8;1;1;0;%2Fhome%2Fbuild%2FProjects%2Fgeany-plugins-remote%2Fgeany-plugins%2Fautorun%2Fsrc%2Fplugin_main.c;0;2 --- > FILE_NAME_0=2231;C;0;EUTF-8;1;1;0;%2Fhome%2Fbuild%2FProjects%2Fgeany-plugins-remote%2Fgeany-plugins%2Fautorun%2Fsrc%2Fplugin_main.c;0;2 ``` I don't know what that first field is, but it does not appear to provide any information that needs to be persisted to disk. Also, is current_page really a valuable field to store? The current_page may change hundreds of times in a session and has no real value to save except maybe on geany exit. I know with the rise of SSDs write times aren't really a thing anymore, but these types of "would be nice to know" would be better in a temp file synced back to .geany on exit, or perhaps elided entirely. Also, for any plugins that depend on Project like Workbench, or Auto-run (the one I am working on), we have an option of either reloading our configs each time a document saves (because it looks like a project-save), or only reading the Project config on plugin_init. ``` Autorun-Message: 15:16:49.012: on_project_save Autorun-Message: 15:16:49.012: found project autorun Autorun-Message: 15:16:49.012: CBS_00_CM Autorun-Message: 15:16:49.012: CBS_00_WD Autorun-Message: 15:16:49.012: COS_00_CM Autorun-Message: 15:16:49.012: COS_00_WD Autorun-Message: 15:16:52.730: on_project_save Autorun-Message: 15:16:52.730: found project autorun Autorun-Message: 15:16:52.730: CBS_00_CM Autorun-Message: 15:16:52.730: CBS_00_WD Autorun-Message: 15:16:52.730: COS_00_CM Autorun-Message: 15:16:52.731: COS_00_WD Autorun-Message: 15:17:06.183: on_project_save Autorun-Message: 15:17:06.184: found project autorun Autorun-Message: 15:17:06.184: CBS_00_CM Autorun-Message: 15:17:06.184: CBS_00_WD Autorun-Message: 15:17:06.184: COS_00_CM Autorun-Message: 15:17:06.184: COS_00_WD Autorun-Message: 15:17:56.203: on_project_save Autorun-Message: 15:17:56.203: found project autorun ``` Those were all fired by document-saves, and caused me to dump and reload the entire .geany file each time to synchronize with Project. -- Reply to this email directly or view it on GitHub: https://github.com/geany/geany/issues/4603 You are receiving this because you are subscribed to this thread.
